Panic! at the Disco Tickets - Band History

Dancing, sweating, quirks, humor and lingo. Is Panic! At the Disco a band or a novelty act? With all the changes in style and lineup, they'd probably say a little bit of both.

Yes, Panic! Members love to dance. In fact, these guys turn the level of energy up to 10 any time they enter a room, with singer Brendon Urie just recently telling the media that he's finally coming out of his shell. Hard to believe considering this is one of the guys who has been writing, recording and performing since its members were in high school.

You know them from top ten lead single, "I Write Sins Not Tragedies," and a debut album, "A Fever You Can't Sweat Out" eventually certified double platinum. Or maybe you've heard of their hit singles like "Nine in the Afternoon" or "New Perspective."

In 2012, the band bolstered itself back to a three-piece outfit (Urie, Spencer Smith and bassist Dallon Weekes) and released its fourth studio album, "Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die!" in 2013. It was followed on May 6, 2014 by the "Nicotine EP," which contained two previously unreleased songs.

Though the band has been out on tour, they've been playing with Dan Pawlovich of the band Valencia as a fill-in for Smith. Shortly before Panic! At the Disco began its first full tour in support of their latest album, Smith penned an open letter to fans regarding his use of alcohol and prescription medications. Urie then posted on the band's website that "It's become evident Spencer still needs more time to take care of himself. I can't expect him to be fighting addiction one minute and be fully immersed in a national tour the next. With that said, the tour will continue without Spencer while he is away getting the help he needs."
